In my opinion, if the officer was going to ask her questions after he advised her she was under arrest, then the Miranda Warning would apply. I do not read Miranda on traffic stops for the most part. Imagine I pull over someone for speeding, running a stop sign or whatever. I already know what my course of action will be, but I like to find out their story. I routinely ask someone do you know what the speed limit is, how fast you were going, where are you coming from? All the information the driver provides me will be documented in my report or on the back of the citation and used against them in court. I have never had a statement tossed out yet in five years from a traffic stop resulting in a citation or arrest. Even with DWI arrests I will advise them that they are under arrest and handcuff them without reading them their rights. I transport them to jail and hope they provide me with some spontaneous utterances that would look good in my report. I am not asking this person any questions they are the one providing me with more evidence against them. Now at the jail, I generally do my paperwork and once I have the results back, then I read them their rights and ask them questions.
